- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Pitland Street knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Extract fan repair in Pitland Street, done properly
Wherever your kitchen is in Pitland Street, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. We’re often asked to deal with a motor that trips out or overheats and a failed fan that needs a replacement, on roof and wall fans, fan housings and fan motors.
In a small place like Pitland Street, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What extract fan repair can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Pitland Street
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Belmont Prep School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Pitland Street questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Pitland Street?
Day or night, a failed fan in Pitland Street can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work in villages like Pitland Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pitland Street
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
